VIP opens new store
Cannock Chase MP Amanda Milling (pictured) was VIP guest at the official opening of a new computer shop. Spartan Global
Services launched the shop on Rumer Hill Business Estate, selling new and refurbished computers to the public. The Cannock-based company refurbishes used computers and resells them to the public at discounted prices. Amanda Milling said: “It was a real
pleasure to officially open Spartan's new store and I was amazed by the scale of their business. They take surplus and redundant computers from any source and refurbish them for private sale, as well as exporting
them to businesses across the globe.” Chris Pattihis from Spartan Global
Services said: “Our retail and trade counter offers superb value for money.”
Businesses build links C
hase Chamber is continuing its efforts to build relationships between business and education, with a networking event on 26
April, at South Staffordshire College’s Rodbaston Hall building. The event is aimed at businesses and education
providers, and apart from building better links between the two, is hoping to further cement employability skills within the curriculum to ensure that young people enter the world of work with the skills that employers demand. The event follows four very successful school

gaps are a cause for national embarrassment. Unless ministers allow schools to increase their focus on preparing students for the working world and businesses step up and do more to engage, inform and inspire, we could fail an entire generation of young people. “It doesn’t need to be like this. Preparing
students to face potential employers should be given the same level of priority as academic achievement in schools across the UK.”
